One of the most beautiful Gothic churches in all Hungary stands next to the Holy Trinity Column commemorating the plague of 1709 in Szentharomsag Square in Buda.
The Church of Our Lady - more commonly known as the Matthias Church - was founded at the same time as the first the Buda Castles, by King Bela IV. Later rulers left their mark on it, adding a tower here and a door there, and generally enlarging the building, and for a while it was also used as a coronation church.
It came to be called the Matthias Church in honour of King Matthias, Hungary's illustrious monarch, who held both his marriage ceremonies here.
Its appearance today results largely from nineteenth century reconstruction, and its excellent acoustics make it a favourite venue for organ recitals and orchestral concerts.
The collection of the church includes lapidarium, reliquary, coronation relics and the treasury with goldsmith masterpieces and church textiles.

daily: 6am - 8pm, ecclesiastical
